He’s been after his 1st saw as he uses his dads now. He’s stopping by in a bit...says he got me something. I’m sending him home with this.

    Awesome gift! Im sure he'll love that. I remember my late uncle (he was like the grandfather i never had) giving me my first real saw in 1985. A Stihl 028 super. I was 17 at the time. Thanks Uncle John! Next month it will be 25 years since he passed.
    Great post Ron T , brought back some pleasant memories!

    Ron T that is very generous of you and for sure you will make one young man feel like a king!

    I know what it is to be gifted a chain saw as there was a terrific group of hoarders that got together to have a party (GTG). We always give door prizes and the last one turned out to be only one name for the drawing. I was just about completely speechless and am still amazed. Every time I start that saw I think about that day, the gift and the brothers and sisters that make it all happen. I'm sure it will be the same for that young man.

    Ron,
    It is persons such as you that restore my faith in humanity. Not only a very generous gift, but one that will be remembered for a lifetime. Merry Christmas indeed!
